For start-up and growth businesses, wellbeing of employees can quickly take a back seat due to the pressing issues that arise on a daily basis. The answer to this problem is in leadership, which plays a key role in the wellbeing of staff through the use of well communicated values and a positive, inclusive culture. The person leading a business must demonstrate behaviours that impact the organisation in a constructive way – providing employees with the goals, but also the autonomy to achieve them; challenging them to solve their own problems but at the same time, coaching and mentoring to help them achieve the best outcome. An engaged employee is a person who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, their work. Leadership is critical in bringing out the strengths of employees. There is a direct correlation between engaged employees, with lower job related stress, and leaders with a positive outlook and disposition. A happy, resilient workforce in a fast paced environment will also be more adaptive to change. #nextchapter #business
